I actually see the humor in this story.



The guy could have 'found' the cure for cancer,
people would still stutter step and do a double take.


-Jimmy, there's only one man that can save your life!

--Thank god, who is this remarkable man?

-Professor Nutt, of course!



Why couldn't his name be Professor Doctor Handsome Millionaire?

A Home Office spokesman said: "Prof Nutt's views are his own and do not
reflect the views of Government. The Government is clear - we are
determined to crack down on all illegal substances and minimise their harm to
health and society as a whole.

Google "ecstasy safer than horse riding", he published some other report last year, but got shot down by the useless government here.

Mhm, I fear we won't stop either, until Mr Brown, and Jaqui Smith have spent the country's entire deficit, wrapping everything in bubble wrap.

UK’s Drugs Czar Fired For Marijuana Truths

Gordon Brown defends Nutt sacking DWR

Mr Ferry… why do you not come out strongly when the RCMP (Or, as it was last week, the OPP) issue press releases with unsubstantiated and alarmist statements about the danger of marijuana cultivation facilities?
